Have fun! I think I will relax with the porch light on and eat the 3 extra bags of candy I bought just in case we have more than 6 trick or treaters as in years past.
And yes, I DO remember rainy days and 3rd graders. A BAAAAAAAAD combination at best. Especially since in our school we had no cafeteria. We ate outside every day of the year (central Florida). So on a rainy day we ate indoors, had recess indoors and, with no gymnasium, we had PE indoors.
I hope you have sunny days for your school kids. Save the rain for the middle of the night :)
Have a great party.
Wow! What prep for a party. Your to do list is very, very long. i guess that is what happens when you're 'the mom'. I hope that you have a fun and successful party. Can't wait to see the post of the pictures.
Ours was not nearly as elaborate.
Oh, I wanna come! looks great!
Thanks for the kind words for all those affected by the fire- and thank the Lord your brother-in-law is back! So far, mine's still on "high alert" so still worrysome. And my heart goesw out to all the animals who have been seperated from their homes. Pray they are re-united with their families soon!

Oh my word what a lovely party you will have.
We get templates off the internet and then my husband cuts the pumpkins using a power cutter. He thinks its the coolest thing. Im not so excited about it! :)
Now those oare some serious tools. This is the first year that we are carving a pumpkin...we are very excited. Can't wait to see your creations. Dianntha
